Group 2: Different types of assessments, Abiah Mochotlhi, Sources: …

- - - - As a summative assessment . the teacher will be able to evaluate the project or the task against criteria that they have set.
      - As a formative assessment the teacher will be able to assess the process of the students leading to their final product. This is where the teacher will be able to identify where the students' need help and can see the effectiveness of their lessons.
    - - Developmental Checklists
      - Student portfolios
      - Progress reports
  - - - Setting
      - Role
      - Audience
      - Time-frame
- - - - Co-Assessment
        Students and teachers work together on a rubric with which the students will assess themselves in class. This process can also involve having the students create their own personal learning goals.
      - Learning Logs
        Students can use these logs to reflect on their work over the past week. The teacher can provide prompts for the students to use, such as "This week I have learned..." or "Next week I will focus on..."
      - Concept Circle
        Students draw a circle with lines coming off of it (like a sun). In the circle, students write the concept they are working on, and on the lines, they write the key ideas about this concept. When they are finished, they highlight the key ideas that they are having trouble with. They can then record these ideas in their learning logs.
  - - - 1.) A student, along with the help of their teacher, uses questioning to determine their own level.
        2.) The teacher gives feedback to students about how to improve.
        3.) Students gain an understanding of what "success" looks like for each task they are assigned.
        4.) Students gain independence. They engage in peer assessment and self-assessment.
        5.) Summative assessments (exams or portfolio submissions) are used formatively to help them improve.
    - - Think Pair Share Discussions and Questioning
        Students consider their responses to a question before discussing them with a partner and then sharing them with the class.
      - Comment-only Grading
        Teachers leave constructive comments on students' work instead of marking for a grade.
      - Traffic Lights
        Each student is given a set of three circles to self-assess their understanding of a concept.
        Green: I understand this well and could explain it to a friend.
        Yellow: I think I understand, but I could not explain the concept.
        Red: I don't understand this yet.
  - - - Diagnostic or Pre-Assessment
        This is used to determine a students strengths, weaknesses and prior knowledge prior to instruction.
      - Exit Ticket Quiz
        Students are asked to complete a short quiz after a lesson to assess their understanding of the content.
      - Norm-Referenced Assessment
        Use a student's assessment results to compare them to other students across a national level.
- - - - Formative assessments are used to monitor student learning and provide ongoing feedback. This feedback can be used both by the teacher to improve their teaching and by the student to improve their learning
        
        Helps students identify strengths and weaknesses and target areas they need to work on
        
        Help teachers identify where students are possibly struggling and immediately adjust teaching strategies as neccessary
        
        Different tools can give the teacher options to evalutate different areas. Additionally, different students learn differently, so using different tools can play to differing strengths and weaknesses.
      - Formative assessments should be low stakes and informal, having low or no point value.
        
        Examples of how it can be used in the classroom:
        Entry and exit slips
        Use prompts like "What are 3 things you learned today?"
        Visual representations of how they feel
        Quizzes or polls - use tools like Quizzlet or Kahoot
        Homework
        Journal prompts
      - Formative assessments can also be used as pre-assessments. This can be done before a unit of study to check what the students already know, understand or are able to do and what gaps there may be. This is purely used as a diagnostic tool and is never graded.

    - - Teacher Designed Assessment
        
        Teacher Designed Assessments are generally the most accurate but also take the most effort.
      - Textbook Pre-course Test
        
        If teaching a text book, many contain a diagnostic assessment towards the beginning of the book.
      - Commercial Diagnostic
        
        Paid assessments are available for certain courses and could apply to the teachers specific course.

    - - Personal interviews can be affective but for larger class sizes might be too time consuming.
      - Classroom Discussions can be used to find students' general comfort level with content.
